i am very happy that im having another baby,and i am lucky that everything is going well sofar.however,as i am 28 weeks tomorrow i am feeling sorry for myself as i walk around the shops and see all the slinky party clothes that i cant wear,and as i live in the town centre,in the evenings i see groups of people dressed up and going out for xmas meals etc.no matter what my dp says,i just cant see myself as sexy,im just a pregnant mummy atm not a desireable woman.
sorry,i know theres nothing i can do i just needed a moment to wallow in self pity so i can go back to looking forward to my new baby again

I don't know exactly what Diva is going through but when I was depressed my brain was warped...I was telling dh to start looking for a new wife please who would be good with kids, I didn't deserve to be pregnant, how could I be so cruel as to inflict myself upon my children..I wasn't about to commit suicide but understand how people get to that.
Now that I am not depressed I think what happened to my head??? I'm a GREAT mum! I'm a happy bubbly positive person!

Depression is so evil I don't know how it happens but people end up killing themselves sometimes and its such a waste!

thats basically how i felt-how could i be so selfish as to have another baby when i was such a crap mother etc.i felt fat and was always getting paranoid and having horrible thoughts going through my head that i couldnt seem to control.when i started feeling like my kids would be better off without me i knew thats when i needed to get help.ive felt alot better since the ad's kicked in but only in that the black cloud has gone and i still want to be on the planet.it doesnt take much to knock me back down atm,ie seeing shops full of lovely dresses and other shallow stuff like that.

Why would anyone come onto a thread entitled 'I need to moan, sorry' and be so self-righteous about people moaning?

How odd .

Not long to go diva.

Personally, I wish I'd heard more of these 'moans' before I got pregnant. Maybe it wouldn't have been quite so much of a shock what an enormous toll it's taken.

And no, marymillington, you didn't know diva was suffering from AND. Don't be so quick to judge.

thanks booboo.

although this is my 5th child its the first time ive 'planned' a pregnancy,and the first time ive had a supportive partner from the start etc.when i had a crap time in my last pregnancies i kept getting told it was due to the circumstances,lack of support etc,so i really thought this time would be better.i was wrong.
